380: Chapter 380 A Mandate of Heaven, Pure Luck!

Time passed quickly without anyone noticing.

A two-meter-tall muscular woman, wearing tight overalls, held her angular, flesh-filled face in both hands.

She squeezed her left eye shut, forced her right eye wide open, and pulled the corners of her mouth into what she thought was a sweet, but was actually a terrifying, curve.

Chen You sat on a bench, watching this scene expressionlessly.

His stomach was currently experiencing a series of high-frequency spasms.

“Mentor, look at my wink. Does it have that... broken feeling of someone who has weathered many hardships but still holds love for the world?”

Sander's coarse voice echoed through the hall.

Chen You raised a hand to press against his brow, blocking his vision.

Right now, he just wanted to log off and sleep.

Who could have imagined that the number one super tycoon of the Source Realm, with hundreds of billions in capital, would be working overtime in this virtual world to rehearse a talent show with an NPC.

“City Lord.” Chen You took a deep breath, his tone flat.

“Your left eyelid just twitched seventeen times. That’s not a ‘broken feeling,’ that’s facial nerve dysfunction.”

“If you go on stage in this state, the audience will immediately call a priest to perform an exorcism on you.”

Sander immediately stood up straight, lowering her head in shame.

Her two thick fingers twisted together in front of her, nearly crushing her knuckles.

“I’m sorry, Mentor! It’s because my comprehension is too poor!”

Just then, a long bell chime echoed from outside the hall.

The dull sound penetrated the night sky, announcing the arrival of a new day.

A dazzling golden server-wide announcement immediately popped up in front of Chen You.

[World Announcement: The Source Realm Anniversary Celebration has concluded successfully!]

[World Announcement: Congratulations to player ‘Chen You’ for reaching the top of the fortune ranking with an absolute advantage of one hundred thousand gold coins! The Source Realm will remember your generosity!]

[System Prompt: Congratulations on reaching the top of the fortune ranking during the Anniversary Celebration. The rewards have been sent to your personal mailbox. Please check them!]

Chen You was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

It’s here!

The rewards for the hundred thousand gold coins have finally arrived!

“Tonight’s special training ends here.” Chen You stood up and straightened his Daoist robe.

“Art requires time to settle. Your muscle memory is currently saturated. Go back and sleep; let your body absorb these techniques on its own.”

Sander snapped her head up.

“Mentor! I understand! You want me to learn how to find that fleeting inspiration within relaxation! I’ll go meditate right now!”

Chen You couldn't be bothered to correct her over-thinking and directly opened his system mailbox.

Two items radiating the seven-colored light of Mythic rank lay quietly in the interface.

Extract.

The light flashed, and the detailed attributes of the two items were displayed.

[Nine Nether Heaven-Devouring Kun]

[Quality: Mythic (Unique)]

[Type: Air/Land/Sea Amphibious Mount]

[Additional Function · Spatial Leap: Can store up to ten coordinate points. Consumes energy to perform a spatial leap to any stored coordinate.]

[Description: Is it powerful? Your Kun... cough, wrong script. Anyway, ride it, and you’ll be the coolest guy in the Source Realm!]

Amphibious versatility, plus spatial leaping.

This meant that from now on, his travel in the Source Realm would no longer be restricted by the teleportation arrays between main cities.

The world is vast; where can I not go?

His gaze shifted to the second item.

[destiny sovereign]

[Quality: Mythic (Unique)]

[Special Effect · Destiny: Your Luck stat is permanently increased by 100 points.]

[Special Effect · Overlord: You deal 10% extra suppression damage to all units with a lower level than you.]

Chen You’s smile widened.

A 100-point increase in Luck.

In the basic settings of the Source Realm, an ordinary player's initial Luck usually hovered between 1 and 5.

Even for those high-tier players with hidden racial talents, it was difficult for their Luck to exceed 20.

Luck affected monster drops, special acquisitions, and even the chances of triggering hidden quests.

Chen You decisively equipped the title.

Four ancient dark-gold characters, “destiny sovereign,” appeared above his head, surrounded by faint shadows of stars being born and destroyed.

“Let’s go see my big baby.”

In a great mood, Chen You couldn't wait to see the spectacle of a Mythic mount.

He strode out of the City Lord's Mansion toward the wide plaza outside.

Seeing this, Sander immediately followed with her long legs.

Arriving at the plaza in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen You opened the mount interface, selected the [Nine Nether Heaven-Devouring Kun], and clicked summon.

There was no light, no sound effect.

The air in the entire plaza suddenly fell into absolute stillness.

Immediately after, the starry sky overhead was obscured by a heavy darkness.

Chen You looked up.

An indescribably massive creature was silently hovering above Cangxing City.

Its body was a deep abyssal blue, with patterns like flowing galaxies on its surface.

Its massive dual fins spread out, covering almost the entire airspace of the City Lord's Mansion.

It had no wings, yet it could travel through the sky.

With every breath, it caused visible ripples and folds in the surrounding space.

The sense of pressure was immense.

The players in Cangxing City pointed at the sky, erupting in terrified screams.

“Holy crap! A World Boss is attacking the city!”

“Run! With that size, it’s at least a Level 90+ Overlord!”

Sander stood behind Chen You, her head tilted back, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit a watermelon.

“Mentor...” Sander’s voice was dry, “Is this also... part of the talent show? Using this kind of absolute spectacle to crush the psychological defenses of the other contestants?”

Chen You didn't look back.

“You’re overthinking it. This is just my transportation.”

“Come down.” Chen You issued the command.

The Nine Nether Heaven-Devouring Kun in the sky released a low hum. The sound pierced through the clouds, making all the buildings in Cangxing City tremble.

Its massive body rapidly shrank.

The Giant Kun slowly lowered its height, bringing with it a powerful gust of wind.

The airflow swept across the plaza, making Chen You’s robe flap loudly.

*Click.*

Directly above the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, an ancient plaque that had hung for countless years suddenly made a crisp sound.

Behind the plaque, a dust-covered brick loosened and fell out.

A coin shimmering with a strange silver light dropped from the gap behind the brick.

The coin traced a parabola in mid-air, hitting Chen You on the forehead with unerring precision before bouncing into his open palm.

Chen You was stunned.

What’s going on?

He looked down at his palm.

The coin had a strange smiley face pattern engraved on its surface, while the back featured a row of unrecognizable runes.

The system prompt suddenly rang out.

[Ding!]

[You have unexpectedly obtained a special item: wishing coin.]

[wishing coin: A coin lost in the long river of time. It is said that as long as you find the wandering ‘wishing machine’ of the Source Realm and insert the coin, it can grant you one wish.]

[Triggered Hidden Unique Quest: Search for the Wishing Machine.]

Chen You stared at the coin in his hand, dazed for three seconds.

Then, he could no longer suppress his laughter.

The power of 100 Luck points is truly terrifying!
